Money won’t win this election – not this time. Dissatisfied with the whole Nygren drama, the voters will decide at the polls that it is time to dump Nygren, who has milked the taxpayers of this county for too long. When politicians are voted out of office and citizen-soldiers are voted in, that is when we might begin to regain control of this faltering Republic. The 16,000 votes cast for Nygren in the primary cost him dearly. Seipler had (lets round it off) 7,000. The UNDERVOTE on the Republican side was about 8,000. Unopposed, Mahon got 7,000. If that scenario is repeated, if the undervote and the Seipler supporters go for Mahon, Mahon would win the general election more than 30%. November 2 is still a long way off, and much can, and will happen to awaken voters, energize voters and motivate voters to make the change in the Sheriff’s department that McHenry County must have. I am still intrigued to learn what Keith Nygren is hiding in his past, before he became Sheriff, before Crystal Lake.
But then, Keith also has a few bones in the closet for current analysis. I’m for making a change, just to clean the house. Nygren out – Mahon in.

This will be interesting to monitor. I can only hope Mahon will get more funds and more supporters in the coming weeks. The ‘dirty tricks’ are about to begin. But let’s remember – it’s not the $, its the votes. Money is certainly a necessity, but it is the votes that are counted, in the end. You can’t buy an election in McHenry – oh, wait, yes, you can. All the more reason to get out the vote!
